On 21st June, Southport played against Pendle and Craven in the second round of the Longman Cup. Following a long and hard afternoon of play, Southport clinched a 4:3 win to progress to the quarter final.
Every year June is a month to look forward to as preparations are made to host the annual Festival of Croquet when members of the North West Federation are invited to take part in a fun and friendly weekend of croquet.
We all had fingers and toes crossed for fine weather and the Southport sun gods didn’t disappoint.
From the preparation and setting up of both North and South lawns, erecting gazebos and taking delivery of porta loos it’s always a busy week for our volunteers.
This year proved to be a glorious event enjoyed by new and experienced croquet players alike. We are always grateful to our team captains, helpers and providers of light refreshments for their contributions over the weekend which makes the event a great success with clubs returning year after year.
